The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The bustling city of Beijing is bustling with countless people walking the streets. However, under the impact of the Russian soldiers, the entire city of Beijing became a pot of porridge, and it was already a chicken and a dog.

With 6,000 Russian soldiers, Kyrsky was invincible all the way.

Chen Yuande, as a staff officer, also accompanied him.

In addition, the Yi 60 also led a large army to join the ranks of the Russian soldiers. Prior to this, the Yi 60 was inconspicuous, but he did not expect that tens of thousands of soldiers had been recruited, and these tens of thousands of people were combined with Kyrsky's 6,000 well-armed Russian soldiers, which was even more menacing and unstoppable.

Some of the soldiers in the 5th Patrol Battalion tried their best to resist, but they were defeated.

These soldiers were stationed in the Beijing Division, but they did not participate in the conquest, did not go out for actual combat drills, and even lacked well-trained training. Now he suddenly encountered an attack by Russian soldiers, and he was in a hurry, completely not knowing how to resist. Even, the steel knives drawn by some soldiers were blunt and did not have a sharp edge. There were also soldiers armed with muskets who were about to shoot, but they were wounded by the explosion.

There are all kinds of things, which makes people feel both funny and sad at the same time.

Chen Yuande looked at Yixin next to him, and said with a smile: "Lord Gong, have you seen it?" This is the power of our great Tsarist empire, and it is not the most powerful power. However, your empire's garrison is vulnerable. Now with our help, your ascension to the throne is a breeze. ”

When Yixin heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, because the army of the Qing Dynasty was beaten to the ground.

On the other hand, he also felt lucky.

The army in the city can't stop him, so he can ascend to the throne!

Gilsky stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, with a look of disdain on his face, and said loudly in Russian: "The army of the Manchu Empire is really vulnerable. These people are as weak as ants, and if we gently hold out a finger, they will all be crushed to death. ”

Chen Yuande translated it to Yixin, and Yixin's face was even more ugly.

However, Yixin could not refute it.

He could only swear in his heart that after he won Zaichun, Cixi and others, and ascended the throne, he must train to strengthen the national strength, so that the foreigners in front of him can see what the army of the Great Qing Kingdom is. Yixin comforted himself in his heart and followed Kyrsky on his way. The army encountered soldiers patrolling the fifth battalion on the road, but without making a move, the soldiers patrolling the fifth battalion scattered, surrendered, and the army's spirit was scattered.

Yixin's army and Kyrsky's army were menacing, and they were heading towards Zhengyangmen.

This gate was guarded by Zhang Zhiping, and the Eight Banners under his command were also trained by Zhang Zhiping himself. Before Zhang Zhiping was only the city gate leader of Deshengmen, but after being promoted to the right-wing general of the Nine Gate Admiral's Yamen, in addition to Desheng Gate, he was also responsible for the security of Zhengyang Gate, Xuanwu Gate, and Chongwen Gate, and was responsible for the security of four of the nine gates, which can be said to be a great increase in power.

At this time, Zhang Zhiping was on the tower of Zhengyangmen.

Because through the Zhengyang Gate, you can go directly to ***, so as to approach the palace hall. Therefore, Zhang Zhiping attaches great importance to the safety of Zhengyangmen. Zhang Zhiping is a brave general in the army, and the soldiers under his command are not weak. Relatively speaking, Zhang Zhiping is the bravest of the nine gatekeepers in the inner city, and the soldiers under his command are also the most elite.

Zhang Zhiping had already ordered the soldiers to prepare to resist and put away all the guns, ammunition, and weapons. At this time, Zhang Zhiping stood in the arrow tower on the city tower, cheering up the soldiers back and forth.

"Batu, cheer up Lao Tzu, load up the ammunition, and when the foreigners come, give Lao Tzu a hard fight!"

"Mo Sanchong, you kid has great strength and is our main force. Sharpen your knife quickly, and when the foreigners rush into the city gate, you must kill a few more foreigners when you rush up with your knife! ”

……

Everywhere Zhang Zhiping passed, the soldiers who were called out nodded in response. The people who were not named were also full of enthusiasm and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

"Don't worry, my lord. When the foreigners come, I will definitely come to kill one by one, and I will be a dozen. ”

A soldier wiping the chamber of his gun said loudly.

Zhang Zhiping patted the soldier's shoulder and said loudly: "It's good to have this energy, damn it, aren't they just some foreigners?" Patrol the wine bags and rice bags raised by the group of bitches in the fifth battalion, and no one can stop them. They can't win the foreign dogs that come over, but we are all armed with dog sticks, you must beat Lao Tzu hard, don't let the foreigners think that we are easy to bully. ”

"Yes!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, all excited.

"My lord, the foreign dog is here!"

Suddenly, a soldier shouted.

Zhang Zhiping turned around and looked at the sky-high fire outside the city through the hole in the arrow tower, and actually saw Yi Xin's army, and saw Yi 60 in the army. Zhang Zhiping's sword eyebrows were upside down, and his eyes flashed with raging anger, but he didn't expect Yixin to be embarrassed by the foreigners. At this moment, Zhang Zhiping understood why the foreigners arrived in Beijing smoothly, obviously Yixin made a move.

"Brothers, Yixin dog thief betrayed the country, hit me, beat me hard!"

Zhang Zhiping was furious and ordered an attack.

In an instant, bows and arrows shot out through the arrow tower, and a particle bullet also flew out.

The hum of the bowstring vibrating, and the sound of gunfire, came and went. The dense attack had a certain impact on the advancing army below, but what made Zhang Zhiping frightened was that the other party actually pulled out the cannon and aimed it at the gate of Zhengyangmen, obviously preparing to use the cannon to attack.

"Boom!!"

An earth-shattering sound sounded, and a cannonball flew out.

Zhang Zhiping secretly scolded the foreigners for being shameless, but shouted: "Quick, withdraw!" Remove! ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhiping took the lead in retreating.

In an instant, the cannon landed on the wall of the arrow tower, making an earth-shattering loud noise. Bricks and stones fell, and the inside of the arrow tower was constantly shaking, and dust was constantly sprinkling. The soldiers looked at the situation outside the city with trepidation, but saw that the other party had already taken advantage of this gap to rush over. More than 10,000 troops were approaching, and the momentum was menacing, and Zhang Zhiping knew that he couldn't stop it.

"Mr. Zhang, the marshal, please retreat, you don't need to resist the foreigners in Zhengyangmen."

A soldier from the Sharp Knife Battalion ran up and shouted.

Zhang Zhiping looked puzzled and asked, "Why did you give up resisting?" Do you want to surrender? ”

The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion pointed to the army in the city and said loudly: "It's not a surrender, it's a strategic preparation to retreat." The marshal has already transferred all the Eight Banners soldiers in the city to let them temporarily hold back the foreigners. Zhang Zongbing took his elite to protect the emperor and the empress dowager of the two palaces, and prepared to withdraw from Beijing. ”

After Zhang Zhiping received the order, he ordered to abandon Zhengyangmen and run towards the palace.

At this time, the army dispatched by the rest of the gates was replaced and re-guarded Zhengyangmen. It's just that the soldiers in this team are obviously not as powerful as the elite under Zhang Zhiping, and the only thing they can do is to delay time, or wait for Yixin's army to come in, and then surrender decisively.

This is the only thing that the cannon fodder Eight Banners soldiers left can do.
